Why in the hell are we not immediately deport terrorism supporters who are not US citizens? And revoking the citizenship of those who were given it? That can actually be done
Hundreds chant for ‘intifada’ at New Year’s Day protest in NYC’s Times Square
Several hundred demonstrators called for an intifada on Wednesday at an anti-Israel protest in New York City’s Times Square to mark New Year’s Day.
Attendees chanted “Resistance is glorious — we will be victorious,” “We will honor all our martyrs,” and “Gaza, you make us proud.” They carried signs that said “Zionism is cancer,” “No war on Iran,” and “End all US aid to Israel.”
“There is only one solution — Intifada revolution,” they chanted, using a common refrain at anti-Israel rallies in the US. “Intifada,” Arabic for “uprising,” is associated with the Second Intifada, a period of terror attacks in Israel in the early 2000s marked by suicide bombings.
Speakers at the Wednesday rally urged attendees to recommit to anti-Israel activism in the new year.
This occurred as we were learning more and more about the New Orleans Islamist terrorist attack. We still do not know what happened with the Las Vegas attack at Trump Tower.
Many in the crowd wore keffiyehs and face masks — ostensibly in order to shield their identities. Jewish groups are pushing New York State legislators to reinstate a law banning face masks at public gatherings, arguing the masks hinder prosecution of hate crimes and harassment. The legislation’s opponents say it will infringe on free expression.
Our government tolerates people calling for the death of Jews. That keffiyeh is a symbol of that, along with chants. These same people want to destroy America. Why are we allowing them to stay? Free Speech does not cover essentially calls for murder. And, isn’t this actually insurrection?

Our esteemed host asked:
Actually, freedom of speech does cover “essentially calls for murder,” if tho9se calls are not a direct threat against specified individuals. Chants of “Kill all the Jews” would not be illegal, where something like, “I’d pay to see Chuck Schumer killed” could be, if it was backed up by actual money.
Is it insurrection? No. It is reprehensible, but it’s not an armed rebellion against the legal government.
Our Constitution protects our right to dissent and disagree with the government, even if that disagreement is shouted loudly, and amid mass demonstrations. Our First Amendment does expose our nation to calls for revolution; that’s a danger we willingly accept to help shield ourselves from tyranny.
